Who am I?
My name is Yana Krukovets. I’m a Full Stack and Frontend Developer based in Ottawa, Canada, with 5+ years of professional experience. I like to code things from scratch and enjoy bringing ideas to life in the browser.
I work across the full stack — from database and API design to polished, user-facing front-end work — using React, Next.js, JavaScript, GraphQL, Tailwind CSS, and more. I have hands-on experience with Agile/SCRUM teams, full SDLC, and building both MVC and MVVM applications.
Beyond the code, I’m genuinely excited about AI. I practice AI-assisted development daily — working with tools like Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Grok to speed up everyday workflows without cutting corners on code quality.
I’m open to freelance projects, contract work, and full-time roles — working remotely with teams anywhere, or onsite in Ottawa.
Outside of work, I enjoy pursuing activities that help me recharge and stay inspired. Whether it's discovering a great film, painting, hiking, biking, skiing, skating or making memories with my family, I appreciate experiences that bring both excitement and balance to life.
